Fixed that for you

And don't forget your costumes!

What, you'll put it down on a Japanese bike instead?

Awesome! Be cool to see you again

Happy Birthday!

If you got it, flaunt it

Ooh! True that When you visit Cambridge we can go for a pint at the Jenny Wren or The Ship and leave the bikes out front - they'll either be burning or gone by the time we get out

I've got very long hair, sometimes it goes in my face and drives me nuts, sometimes it somehow gets in my mouth, and it ALWAYS turns into one big god awful knot when I ride in the wind or on motorways. I have what I can only describe as a neoprene balaclava, works wonders and pretty comfy. I don't wear it often because I look like a prat when I take my helmet off, but it does the trick if you're desperate.

If you're offering? I'm sure something can be arranged

+1 what Steve said. Means you've still got the original for when you sell the bike. If it doesn't have an accident with a box of matches before then.

I know, that's blown my plans right out of the water

PASSED THE MOT! I have a bike once again instead of a paperweight and I'm coming to the rally on two wheels

Bloody heck! Not complaining about my servicing costs ever again

Here's your diet for you... http://www.boots.com/en/Senokot-Max-Strength-Senna-24_230271/

The 60-300 is actually cheaper than the 40-200 on the trade card, and you aren't paying for an overlap if you later get a 8-60. Not that the extra 100nm whacked on top will ever be of use on your bike, but could come in handy if you ever do work on your car. Longer bar too, which comes in very handy. But the main perk is it's about a tenner cheaper.

If they're falling apart, replace them. Ebay seems to have full sets for your bike for as little as a fiver. If they aren't falling apart, leave them alone. Job done! Also: Yay, you have an Avatar at last!

Yes... i'll get right on checking those things i know everything about... These things! http://images.wemoto.com/full/CUSH_DRIVE/10008120.jpg When you get the back wheel off, you'll find that the sprocket isn't mounted directly onto the wheel hub; it's bolted onto a different part (seen it called a sprocket hub?), and the cush drive rubbers fit into the sockets on the interior faces where the wheel hub meshes with the sprocket hub. Basically they're there to reduce stress on other components of your drive train. Mine were in pretty decent nick so I left them alone, but from the amount of broken down rubber caked onto the inside of the hub, it looks like the previous set were used for a bit longer than they should've been

There's a very handy video guide on Youtube showing how to use a chain breaker/riveter. Can't get the link for you now as YouTube is blocked on my work computer, but I recall that the guy is working on a DR650. Changing the sprockets is piss easy, just one IMPORTANT NOTE: Loosen the front sprocket nut before you break the chain or you'll really be kicking yourself... Edit: Might as well check the condition of your cush drive rubbers while you're there, too. Only takes a second.

My bike coughs coolant into the oil tank and fork oil all over the road... it clearly blows, not sucks

So what you're saying is... the problem with the bike is it sucks too much? http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/le-miiverse-resource/images/f/fa/Deal_With_It..gif/revision/latest?cb=20141015042646

Or buy a licence plate flipper

Cheers for that TC, thankfully I'm already at that stage. The injury lawyer my insurers referred me to got me to wait a month before a medical assessment, and then the physio company he passed me on to dragged their heels a bit more, and didn't have any appointments available for a month or so, and now the physio has finally started. So I should be in good hands now, but I'm certainly not impressed with the lack of care shown by my GP while I was visiting him during the wait. Every time I've ever visited the place (for this or anything else) they just seem to want to fob you off so they can get you back out the door as quick as you came in

My motorbike-to-chocolate calculator tells me that's 0.25% of a brand new Fazer right there! Smart move offering Curly Wurly, if you'd said Freddo... well, those things are practically worth their weight in motorbike.

Thread title is the wonderful advice my crappy GP has been giving me every time I've seen them about my knee since an idiot in a cage squished my bike three months ago! Today I finally got to see the physio appointed by my insurers; she says it looks like I've been hobbling around on a torn hamstring, hamstring muscle, and medial ligament for the last three months. The tearing feeling inside my knee is scar tissue ripping apart over and over again I am yet to have a positive experience with a GP, strongly considering giving Bupa a go (not that I can afford to...)

Hmm, gotta be something good to request... I'll PM you as soon as I think of something
